Eden AIWe are pleased to announce that NLP Cloud’s Text Technologies have been integrated into Eden AI API.
What is NLP Cloud?
NLP Cloud is an advanced AI platform that prioritizes data privacy, enabling businesses to utilize cutting-edge AI engines and train their own models while safeguarding data confidentiality.
Their platform supports multilingual capabilities, simplifies text processing, and allows for custom model deployment, streamlining AI project delivery. They offer a range of AI engines at affordable rates, including spell check, keyword extraction, sentiment analysis, ner, and code generation.
Why do we offer NLP Cloud in addition to other Text Technology APIs?
We want our users to have access to multiple AI engines and manage them in one place so they can reach high performance, optimize cost and cover all their needs.
There are many reasons for using multiple AI APIs :
Fallback provider is the ABCs.
You need to set up an AI API that is requested if and only if the main AI API does not perform well (or is down). You can use the confidence score returned or other methods to check provider accuracy.
Performance optimization.
After the testing phase, you will be able to build a mapping of AI vendors' performance that depends on the criteria that you chose. Each data that you need to process will be then sent to the best API.
Cost - Performance ratio optimization.
This method allows you to choose the cheapest provider that performs well for your data. Let's imagine that you choose Google Cloud API for customer "A" because they all perform well and this is the cheapest. You will then choose Microsoft Azure for customer "B", a more expensive API but Google performances are not satisfying for customer "B". (this is a random example)
Combine multiple AI APIs.
This approach is required if you look for extremely high accuracy. The combination leads to higher costs but allows your AI service to be safe and accurate because AI APIs will validate and invalidate each other for each piece of data.
Interview with NLP Cloud’s Founder and CTO
We had the chance to talk to Julien Salinas, NLP Cloud’s Founder and CTO, who agreed to answer some of our questions:
What is NLP Cloud?
NLP Cloud is an AI platform that serves many advanced models through a simple API (generative models, speech recognition, summarization, classification, NER, and much more.). Customers can also fine-tune their own model on NLP Cloud.
We created the company in early 2020 when we realized, as full-stack developers, that a lot of progress was made in the Natural Language Processing field, but that deploying these models was a challenge.
What solution do you provide?
We are mainly competing against OpenAI.
Many customers are switching from OpenAI to NLP Cloud for several reasons. Many are looking for a privacy focused alternative (at NLP Cloud we do not store and reuse our customers' data and we offer several solutions for applications that require an advanced level of privacy, like on-premise models).
Most of them are also looking for a better level of support (at NLP Cloud you get timely and quality responses to your questions). And last of all many customers are in need of a more robust service with no disruption (while OpenAI regularly experiences outages, we very rarely do).
Who are your customers?
Our customers are extremely diverse, from cutting-edge AI startups to agencies and large corporate customers. Most of them are using NLP Cloud in their business for privacy reasons, quality of support reasons, and infrastructure reliability reasons.
How will your product evolve?
We are going to propose many new AI models in the coming months. Stay tuned!
How to use NLP Cloud on Eden AI?
You'll need some documentation to use NLP Cloud API on Eden AI.
Eden AI is a must-have
Eden AI is the future of AI usage in companies. Our platform not only allows you to call multiple AI APIs but also gives you :
- Centralized and fully monitored billing for all AI APIs
- A unified API for all providers: simple and standard to use, quick switch between providers, access to the specific features of each provider
- Standardized response format: the JSON output format is the same for all suppliers thanks to Eden AI's standardization work. The response elements are also standardized thanks to Eden AI's powerful matching algorithms.
- Best Artificial Intelligence APIs of the market: big cloud providers (Google, AWS, Microsoft, and more specialized engines)
- Data protection: Eden AI will not store or use any data. Possibility to filter to use only GDPR engines.
